Hi Derek,
Hurray for the well thought post.
Interestingly, I have reached the same conclusions,
with one important enhancement: I use a free mail
account for my vanagon list. This way I have all the
filtering capabilities without the need to download
all the messages to my PC. I can just view the headers
and delete the uninteresting ones in a flash.
Of course, the archiving capacity is limited (6MB),
but that's enough for about 2-3 weeks of traffic.
For archiving, I rely on the vanagon archives. Email
searches are very convenient. Even though they're
slow, I don't mind as long as I don't have to wait
like I did on the web search (which didn't work most
of the time due to extreme delays).

Cheers,
TinkerMan
